Number of Character Appearances (Improved!)

[Wrecan]

If the imposter gets more than one appearance, he will get listed, and as long as he is impersonating Xykon, Xykon also gets a listing because it is a likeness of him.

[Wrecan]

Wow, you're fast! I was compiling a list of the appearances, but you have beaten me to it!

If you need some help, we could always break up the work. I'm not so comfortable with changing the thread structure, but I could post a list of the appearances for a range of strips at a time, say 100-200. Let me know...

What would be more helpful is if you could just take on paragraph... say, the list of all named characters with two appearances, and recreate them with links. So I can cut and paste them in. Thanks for the offer!

[Tolkien_Freak]

You forgot to put Mijung on the list of only one appearance.

Other than that, great! The lists under sixteen are slightly difficult to read, line breaks between all names (however lengthy) would be very helpful.

[Caedrel]

If the imposter gets more than one appearance, he will get listed, and as long as he is impersonating Xykon, Xykon also gets a listing because it is a likeness of him.

Um, can we wait until there's confirmation in the comic itself that it IS an imposter of Kykon before proclaiming him as such? While I agree it seems likely, there's no definite statement to that effect (as yet)...

[Vargtass]

Wrecan, you can copy these into your original post if you like. I didn't find Elan as popsicle, unless this is it.

Alternate Magical Forms:
Sabine as Red-Leathered Adventurer (19), Roy as Female (12), Vaarsuvius as Lizard (10), Miko as fallen paladin (6), Xykon as Phylactery (5), Belkar Charmed (4), Eugene Greenhilt as the Being of Pure Law and Good (4), Sabine as Schoolgirl (4), Celia as Statue (3), Durkon as Large Size (3), Sabine as Cliffport Officer (3), Sabine as Geisha (3), Suggestible Black Dragon (3), Belkar's Illusion (2), Leeky as Dire Bear (2), Nale in Sending Spell (2), Sabine as Blacksmith (2), Elan as Popsicle (1.5), Banjo as Banjulhu (1), Elan as Ogre (1), Elan as Warden (1), Julia in Sending Spell (1).

[Wrecan]

You forgot to put Mijung on the list of only one appearance.

That's because Mijung has appeared twice.

Um, can we wait until there's confirmation in the comic itself that it IS an imposter of Kykon before proclaiming him as such?

That's why I started my sentence with the word "if."

Wrecan, you can copy these into your original post if you like.

Gracias!

I didn't find Elan as popsicle, unless this is it.

Yep!

[Wrecan]

Awesome! Thanks a bundle!

[Sir_Norbert]

I'll be curious if "Imposter Xykon" gets a mention, if thats what Xy turns out to be :P

Christ almighty, have you ever heard of SPOILER TAGS?

[anyone]

In 423 we also have the 2. apperance of the Titanium-Elemental. We have also seen them in 422, also they still seemed to be rocks.

[happyturtle]

Sabine appeared as a schoolgirl in at least 5 strips:
342, 349, 351, 355, and 380

Good spot check! Even the catapults are hard to discern.

342, 349, 351, 355, and 380

Good catch! From the 380 entry of this thread,. I find that Sabine was only listed as fiend for that strip.

[Wrecan]

Great catch on the elemental! Also, I meant to list Sabine as a schoolgirl only in her human form. When she's a fiend wearing a schoolgirl outfit, there's no magical alteration, and she's not really a school girl at that point. So she appears magically as a school girl once and in school girl costume 5 times. So that's fixed too.

[Wrecan]

I've now added links to the top 20 characters.

[happyturtle]

424: Hinjo, Vaarsuvius, Titanium elementals, Roy, Elan, Haley, Belkar, Durkon

[Wrecan]

A fitting 200th appearance for Vaarsuvius!

Updated through 424
Belkar, Durkon, Elan, Haley, Hinjo, Roy, Titanium elementals, Vaarsuvius

[Wrecan]

I've added links to all the bandits.

[mikeyq6]

Wrecan, you can copy these into your original post if you like. I didn't find Elan as popsicle, unless this is it.

Just want to say what a great job you and Wrecan have done at getting these links up. I meant to help but my work commitments have prevented me.

It looks fantastic!

[Vargtass]

425:

Elan, Roy, Belkar, Durkon, Haley, Hinjo, Grand Larcenist

[Wrecan]

And the Grand Larcenist attempts to steal Elan's girl!

Updated through 425
Belkar, Durkon, Elan, Grand Larcenist, Haley, Hinjo, Roy

[Vargtass]

Characters with six appearances:
Azure City High Priest, Black DragonV, Female Cop, Funny Hat Bandit, Light Guard Bandit, 2nd Level Bandit, TrigakB

Characters with five appearances:
Azure City High Priestess, Blond Cop, Crystal, Dark Guard Bandit, Lien, Mustached Bandit, The Snarl

I have also updated my previous post on interesting alternative forms above.

[Wrecan]

Done and Done! Thanks Vargtass. What a labor-saver!

[Vargtass]

Adventuring paladin, Adventuring sorceress, Casanova Bandit, Dirt Farmer's Wife, Dragon, Eye-Patched Bandit, Goblin Teen w/BracesE, Hurak, Julio Scoundrél, KittyR, Kobold Oracle, Prison GuardB, Short-Haired Bandit Girl, Soon KimA, TedB (see FAQ), Wizard GuyU, YokyokBU
